Can you attach "lspci -vv" output as well?
Created attachment 339944 [details] Output of lspci -vv Just a note, this was run from my F-10 installation so the section that says the nvidia proprietary driver is loaded isn't true for the USB key I'm using... If you'd like me to test this directly from within the Beta, I'll re-upload the file.
I just tested with kernel-2.6.29.1-111.fc11, problem still occurs.
Okay, so lspci shows: Region 0: Memory at 92000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Region 1: Memory at 80000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Region 3: Memory at 90000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=32M] Which means somehow your framebuffer is at an entirely different address from what we've got in the driver's table. Can you try booting with each of: video=efifb:base:0x92000000 video=efifb:base:0x80000000 video=efifb:base:0x90000000 And see if it helps at all?
I tried all three as well as nouveau.modeset=1 just in case but none work, I still see a blank GRUB splashscreen after selecting any kernel to boot up.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
